"KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Several schools with female students were attacked outside Kabul last week, with rockets fired at two schools and assailants barging into another and burning equipment, a U.N. spokesman said.

No injuries were reported in the attacks, said Edward Carwardine of the U.N. children's agency UNICEF, which sent a team to the areas Tuesday and confirmed the attacks.

"We don't know why this is happening," Carwardine said. "Clearly there is a lot of concern. Any attack against children should be condemned completely." "

Well. let's see. A regime that refused to educate women and beat them for being uncovered in public, speaking and requiring them to stay indoors with painted over windows has recently been overthrown. Many of the former regime's supporters are still on the loose and have not in the least reconsidered the idea that being oppressed and uneducated is the proper role for a woman.
